Now you know the rest of the story! Luray wins 12-7

I've always said you can judge the importance of a ball game by the number of media outlets there to cover the action! I had mentioned Craig Juer ( NVD ) and Bill Meade ( PN &C) but that was just the tip of the ice burg . Greg Brill was there to represent the Winchester Star, John Galle covering the Rams for the Shenandoah Valley Herald and Ace camera lady Rebecca Carter was snapping pictures for Around The Valley in 60 Days.

Luray captured the title, defeating the Strasburg Rams 12-7 tonight at Strasburg! Go 'dogs! Some random pictures. Story to come! Some more game pictures to be posted later :) Dan with the Around the Valley poster. Epic brain trust. Stretching, stretching... and he's out ! What an awesome slide! The amazing hit just blew the signs away... or was it the outfielder's body crashing into them? Way to go! Safe at first! Way to stay on your toes... Right after the home run. Epic. The scoreboard after the home run. Beautiful. ...is he going to be out? From the looks of it, he might be. Nope! Safe! Trying to pick us off first, again. Safe! Some base hit love on first. Some more base hit love. One epic rally shown on the scoreboard. Way to go, 'dogs! Right after the game. Post-game meeting. The Dream Team. Bill Meade hard at work. Pimp that trophy. Champs! Dad and Craig - broadcasters for the game.

Luray Bulldogs @ Strasburg Rams - Region B Title Tilt

The first pitch is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at what should be a packed house in Strasburg . The championship of Region B baseball as well as the right to stay at home for your next game is on the line tonight! Strasburg (21-2) earned a spot in the championship game after a pair of come from behind wins over Wilson (5-4) and Appomattox (7-4). Both the wins came at home for the defending Class A State Champs. Luray (23-1) arrives in town after a pair of late game victories over George Mason (3-2) and Chatham (7-6). The Bulldog victory over the Cavilers saw LHS rally back from down 6-3 late in the game. The game will see plenty of media coverage from both sides, starting with Craig Juer ( NVD ) and Bill Meade (Page News). You can read Craig on line after 10:00 a.m. tomorrow at www.nvdaily.com . I will have the special treat of providing color along side one of the best play by play man in the region. Craig Orndorff will be calling the game for his network www.valleyspo...
